This course explores what is meant by authentic leadership.

We will examine what Authentic Leadership means in practice, how it links to ethical leadership and we will also give you well-researched and scrupulously-modelled tools allowing you to assess just how authentic you are at work.

Authentic Leaders have a high sense of altruism and put the needs of their team or organisation before their own. They know their own strengths, limitations and values.They are honest, genuine and straightforward, and they are fair minded.

On completion of this course, it is expected you will understand more about authentic leadership and not only answer the question ‘Who would wish to be led by you?’ but also, be able to say why you should be their leader.

Having then completed this course, you will be Certificated by Promoting Excellence.

This programme aims:

To introduce and/or deepen your knowledge and understanding of authentic leadership..

To help you to discover more about your authenticity, and how to develop it further, should you wish.

How to use this course
Below are a series of downloads for you. Taken together, they will lead you, in a modular basis, through the whole of our Promoting Excellence 'Authentic Leadership' course, and will conclude with a certificate that you can download to show you have successfully completed the training - and have been officially certificated by Promoting Excellence Limited.

Each of the six modules, plus the introductory module, has video narration, so you are best to complete the course where sound will not disturb others around you. The course is linear, so you should start by downloading and completing the Introduction, followed by Module ONE, Module TWO and so forth. Your password and login ID gives you access to this page, in most cases, for a full year from purchase, so you will not need to rush, but can work methodically. Some downloads are quite large - up to 50MB or so - so you should only download the module upon which you are currently working, before progressing to the next one. Downloading everything in one go will put excessive load on the document delivery server and should be avoided.

Where a module has worksheets, bonus materials and handouts, these are listed below, in the order you will need to download them. Not all courses, and not all modules have worksheets or handouts, but where they do, they are listed below for you to download and use.

All modules are in Microsoft PowerPoint Show format. You need a copy of PowerPoint on your device to view them properly. The workbook is in PDF interactive format. The free PDF Reader from Adobe is the best way of ensuring complete functionality (the PDF viewers built-into browsers do NOT offer the full PDF specification).

Certification
When you reach the conclusion of the course, you will be able to click a link to your Promoting Excellence certificate, which can be personalised with your name and the date of the award.

Is the course for an individual, or a group? Will they use this differently?
The course has been written for use by BOTH individuals AND small groups. An individual will need to reflect on some of the ideas raised, and to jot down their thoughts. They may like to then discuss their ideas with peers, or a competent leader. A small group will find benefit in discussing the ideas and issues raised as a group, and perhaps agreeing on joint actions.

Aims
To deepen your knowledge and understanding of authentic leadership.
To discover more about your authenticity.

Outcomes
On completion of this course, it is expected you will understand more about authentic leadership and not only answer the question ‘Who would wish to be led by you?’ but also, to be able to say why you should be their leader.
